Commuters traveling between Ghaziabad and Delhi should brace for significant traffic congestion over the coming weeks as the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has initiated maintenance and carpeting work on the NH-09 stretch connecting Ghaziabad to Sarai Kale Khan. Lane restrictions have been imposed on the carriageway, and the project is expected to continue until June 2026.
Traffic Management and Alternate Routes
Authorities have advised commuters to avoid the affected stretch wherever possible and instead use NH-24 as the preferred alternate route. Police personnel have been deployed at key intersections to manage traffic flow and minimize inconvenience for daily travelers.
Impact on Daily Commuters
The Ghaziabad-Sarai Kale Khan corridor is one of the busiest commuter routes, connecting east Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad with central parts of the capital. The stretch is heavily used by office-goers, interstate bus passengers, commercial vehicles, and daily commuters heading toward ITO, Pragati Maidan, Ashram, and central Delhi.
Real-time updates regarding diversions and congestion will be shared through Delhi Traffic Police's social media platforms and helpline channels. Commuters are urged to plan their journeys accordingly and stay informed about the latest traffic conditions.
